The Cardturner is about a young man named Alton who starts out his relationship with his uncle by simply turning his cards in his uncle's bridge (a form of card game) tournaments. Alton learns more and more about bridge, and he and his uncle start to bond. They compete in more and more bridge tournaments. Alton then meets Toni Castaneda, the daughter of his uncle's ex-wife. They start to bond, and start playing bridge games of their own. As the novel progresses, romance builds between Alton and Toni, and Alton's uncle gets even better than he was before in his bridge games.
I will say that I flipped through some pages because sometimes, it talked about how to play bridge and things like that. I'm giving this book 6 out of 10 stars because it did, in fact, get very slow at times.
Up next: Jeremy Fink and The Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass:)
